True North Lyrics

(Wendy Waldman/Phil Galdston)He called as soon as he hit New York CityThe highway was like ice and the wind was turning coldHe wanted me to know how much he missed meAnd my picture keeps him going on the lonely roadTrue northThat's where my one star liesTrue northIf only I could flyMy heart would be a compassLeadin' to his sideHeadin' true northHe called a hundred miles west of ChicagoHe said it must be snowing all the way to TennesseeI couldn't bear to say back here it's springtimeWhat good is this southern sun when the one for me is...True northThat's where my one star liesTrue northIf only I could flyMy heart would be a compassLeadin' to his sideHeadin' true northSometimes I count the miles that run between usI lie awake and wonder how much farther can we goHe called last night from outside SeattleSaid there's a star up in the sky that our love can followTrue northThat's where my one star liesTrue northIf only I could flyI'd be the fastest bird that everGraced the skyHeadin' true north
